I’m Ishaan Kolluri — I’m a product manager and early-stage investor based out of the SF Bay Area. I’m an early adopter of software and enjoy jamming on anything tech — especially fintech, productivity, AI, and consumer. If you’d like to chat, email me at firstnamelastname@gmail.com.
My work
Most recently, I was a product manager at Robinhood, working on the launch of the Robinhood Cash Card. Robinhood went public while I was there, and we launched and grew our product through macroeconomic changes and new leadership. I worked on ledger infra, direct deposit, and card experience. I also led efforts to define our card’s target customer, roadmap, and multiyear breakeven plan.
Before Robinhood, I joined Earnin as their only full-time product designer for some time. I designed features across the core product, overdraft protection, and risk — and then became PM of our monetization and underwriting team. I was accountable for maintaining our tip rate and for overall contribution margin.
My investing
I’ve written preseed checks in a handful of early-stage businesses across consumer, AI, and fintech, and gratefully remain connected to a gauntlet of incredible multi-stage investors in the Bay Area. If you’re thinking about starting something and need a confidential thought partner, email me anytime.
